Memories & Candles

Stan, so sorry for your loss. My favotire memory of your dad was one Christmas when Bobby was just a little guy and he couldn't get anyone to open a candy cane for him. He finally talked your dad into it and was his buddy for the entire day. Also, you and your dad coming to visit me in Florida was a gift I'll always cheish.
